If you upgrade to 3.0, it will still want you to activate and the unlock method for this firmware just came out and may not be as reliable. I'd recommend you stick to 2.2.1 for now and work on unlocking/activating that version...
thanks for your help
so i have decided to try to just go and use QuickPwn rather than try to restore the firmware...
on the first screen it asks to find the firmware file...after selecting it it had a nice big green check mark so i am guessing thats the correct version on the phone?
i am going to keep going forward and see what comes out...
right now i am at the screen where it says 'preparing your device - please wait' it is trying to get the phone in to recovery mode...
